Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

I have paid the application fee and holding deposit to move in to an apartment on 1/19/2013. However, the landlord said they had to chang the move in date to 2/7/2013 two weeks before the move in date. The reason they give us is the person live there won't move out till 1/31/2013. However, we cannot wait that long, should they refund us the application fee and holding deposit? If the apartment is not available, why they have agreed to rent it to us? We have. Of signed the lease agreement.
